Track 2000
How is the project going ?
The answer is generally: Fine[ii]
However, the apparently simple answer often hides a much more complex answer.
Fine [translated].
We don't know what we are doing at the moment and are a little confused because our key clients changed the requirements yesterday.
But, don't panic. Last time we got a requirements change we managed to drop off some other requirements so we seemed to be back on track. Tomorrow things will change anyway.
To summarise, no one has gone crazy yet and we are pretty confident that we'll all survive .. so go away.[iii]
Clearly, when considering that the company may be investing many millions of dollars on the project and the product that is being produced may be vital to the strategic survival of the company, the problems of project tracking are very serious.
